Author’s Note

I’m Alex Press, an editor at Jacobin Magazine and a freelance writer in New York. I was in Boston for seven years prior, where I was a political organizer and, for a few years, a PhD student.

I use this blog to occasionally write about politics from a left-wing perspective. It’s also occasionally a venue for personal essays that I wouldn’t want to put in actual publications. Those, of course, tend to be more popular.
